15 X-ray background (XRB) The XRB at energies above 1 kev is generated by a population of discrete extragalactic sources (mostly AGNs). At enegries below 1 kev some (basicly unknown) contribution to the XRB generate also: local (Galactic) hot plasma and the WHIM. Fluctuations of the XRB at arcmin scale are generated by a nonuniform distribution of sources contributing to the XRB: AGNs and WHIM. The WHIM is strongly correlated with galaxies. WHIM in emission: spherical halos rather than filaments. A.M. Sołtan & Agata Różańska (NCAC) WHIM with Athena Athena Scientific Conference 15 / 27

29 Correlation analysis The WHIM is strongly correlated with the galaxy distribution. At small angular scales, the WHIM structure defines the signal of the cross-correlation function (CCF). At large scales the CCF signal is generated by the large scale fluctuations of the galaxy distribution (the galaxy autocorrelation function). δρ(θ) = s P(θ) + s w gg (θ) n g δρ(θ) average excess of the X-ray flux, s brightness of the individual WHIM halo around galaxy, P(θ) normalized surface brightness of the WHIM halo, w gg (θ) autocorrelation function of galaxies, n g surface density of galaxies surrounded by the WHIM halos.

42 Athena most likely will have the capability to detect the soft X-ray emission from individual WHIM halos accumulated around nearby galaxies. A moderate exposure time would be required. Imaging of the detailed structure will need long but still feasible exposures. Thank you A.M. Sołtan & Agata Różańska (NCAC) WHIM with Athena Athena Scientific Conference 27 / 27
